Ryanair has extended its connecting flights service at Milan Bergamo and Rome Fiumicino Airports, adding a further 27 routes.

New connections now include Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Prague and Ibiza, providing Ryanair customers with an expanded route choice of 181 connecting services in total.

The service offers the opportunity to book and transfer directly onto connecting Ryanair flights.

Following the successful launch of this service in July and its subsequent expansion, Ryanair customers can now transfer ‘airside’ between connecting flights without having to go ‘landside’.

Passengers can also see checked-in baggage transferred through to their final destination.

Ryanair chief commercial officer, David O’Brien, said: “These new connections make regional Italy in particular more accessible for European customers in advance of developing more direct routes to the regions in the coming years.

“Customers flying on these routes will be able to transfer onto their next flight at Milan or Rome without having to go landside, and will have their bags checked through to their final destination.”
